Latest Edition of We Believe Series Available for Order or Download

by

Thanks to the diligent work and generosity of the Department of Christian Education of the Eastern Diocese, we are happy to announce that the latest revision of the venerable We Believe series is available for purchase or free download.

We Believe has been the basis for the Sunday School program of the Armenian Church of the United States for many years, and continues to be an invaluable resource for our parishes to offer a robust Christian education for our children. For the benefit of our army of Sunday School teachers, all the teachers’ manuals are made available online for download. These publications are not currently available in printed form.

All of the Students Texts, from Kindergarten to 10th Grade, are also available for download online. However, many teachers know that having printed copies of the student books can help facilitate class time. Printed student texts can be ordered from the Eastern Diocese to make available for your classes. Ordering these books also helps to support the work of the Department of Christan Education. Order can be made by downloading the 2021 Order Form.
